Leaves Enough Ground for Fairly Spacious Front Lawn.

THIS is really a small houe. but
by cleverly arransinsthe rooms
In the shape of a block letter T
the. architect has conveyed to us the
impression of a much larger home.
This layout has been most fortu
nate, as it has permitted the Inclu
sion of many interesting features,
such as the generous side porch, the
side entrance, the separation of the
living room from the other rooms,
insuring privacy, and an attractive
planning of the back yard.
In locating the building on the
40x100 foot lot the main part of the
building was set back 23 feet from
the street line and in the other direc
tion Is nearly in the middle of the
lot. This scttine back insures a
certain amount of privacy and leaves
enough cround for a fair-Sized front
lawn.
A large bay with four good sized
windows, each with many small panes!
(architects call them 'lights"). Juts
out from the front of the build'ng. A
trreat plenty of sunshine floods it at
all times, and we can just fancy t
filled with growing plants and flow
era. bringing outdoors in the year
round.
A walk of Irregular shaped slabs of
flagstone, which 's flanked on one
aide by a privet hedge and on the
other by the lawn, takes us toward
the house. Just to the other side of
the hedce is the carriage drive, which
leads to the garage in the rear. At
the door, which, by the way, is at the
side of the house and well towards
the rear, walk and drive meet.
Entrance Is effected without ascend
ing stairs, although once Inside we
must take two steps up to reach the
first floor level. Here, from the
stair hall, we can gain entrance to
the living room, dining room, down
a. short passage to the kitchen, and
directly at our left to the rooms up
stairs and also to the furnace room
and laundry downstairs.
doing first to the kitchen the
housewife's workshop which evcu
plcs a separate wing, we find it to be
compactly arranged, well lighted, and
with a number of built-in cupboards
of great help in the tidy house. .There
ts also space for a good-sized refrig
erator, which is so placed that it can
be iced from without.
The kitchen door leads conveniently
to trie vegetable patch planted be
tween the garage and drive on the
one 'hand and the shrubbery enclosed
f ardon on the other. Through an
opening in the bushes we reach a
crushed stone walk and a garden
seat. The garden seat faces down
another walk which leads toward the
house. On either side are lawns and
flower beds, the whole being sur
rounded, for delightful privacy, by
trees and flowering shrubs.
The garden walk brings us to the
J

Or-r:t.rr-rtes
flagged terrace at the dln'ng-room
entrance. Here a striking view may
be had of the garden, and a door to
the kitchen suggests that with an
awning overhead it would be an Ideal
spot to entertain the casual guest.
Doors are the leading character
istic of the dining room five of
them leading to aa many different
rooms and porches.
Opening one we find ourselves in
the spacious living room with the
large bay windows opposite, the f're
place with the unusual and sparkling
concrete mantel, and the davenport
opposite Two French doors open out
on the large porch with Us flagged
pavement, and from here steps lead
down to the front lawn. Screened,
the porch can be used for a host of
purposes which readily suggest them
selves. Upstairs the large front bedroom
has French windows wh'ch let one
out on the roof of the bay below.
Here we note there are w'ndow
blinds painted a blue green. This
bedroom has ample space for more
than the usual requirements for fur
niture, and also its own fireplace. It
and the. other bedroom have each a
good-sized closet four feet by four
feet.
There being no other than ordinary
details n the layout of the basement
we bave thus completed our casual
survey of the buildng.
However, in judging the worth of
a house we are given to understand
that more than a superficial exam
ination is necessary. What, for in
stance, . Is behind the Ivory tinted
surface of the medium rough finished
stucco? Over what Is the stucco
applied?
Visual inspection is not sufficient
unless we can get the owner's con
sent to let us chisel off apiece of
the stucco. However, the architect's,
specifications will .give us the infor
mation. On them we find that alter
nate bids were asked, for stucco on
lath over sheathing boards and back
splatered stucco on metal lath. Both
form of construction are used widely,
but as It happens that the bid for
backplastered stucco on metal lath
was awarded the contract, perhaps
It will be of Interest to have it de
scribed briefly here:
Metal lath which comes in sheets,
is placed over the wood studs and
nailed directly to them without the
use of sheathing boards The plast
erer applies stucco over the outside
face and similarly to the inner face
of the lath (from the inside of the
building), so that the metal- lath Is
thoroughly imbedded In the stucco.
The latter Is thus strengthened, or
reinforced, to use an engineering or
seamstress' term, and made substan- I
tially crack proof. It Is sa4d that this
method of construction is less ex
pensive than when sheathing .boards.
whose elmination we understand gov
ernment bureaus recommend. . Heat
insulation is taken care of by using
Building paper in the hollow places.
This makes a warm form of con
struction. Altogether this is nrori
ably one of the most economical
lorms or construction for the aver
age residence.
RAISULI, FAMOUS MOORISH .
BANDIT, TOO FAT TO FIGHT
Fleet of Eight American Warships, Stripped for Action, Sent Into
Tangier Harbor When Perdicaris, American Citizen, Abducted.
WASHINGTON'. I. C Feb. 11.
Ralsuli. the Moorish bandit,
who has just again offered to
surrender to the Spanish military
forces which are pushing an active
campaign against him In Morocco, Is
the man who once drew the United
Etatea Into action In that vexed corner
of the world.
He figured in that celebrated Inci
dent when Secretary of State John
Hay demanded "Perdicaris alive or
Kaisull dead."
That was 17 years ago. In 1904. Ral-
u!l had Captured Ion 1'crdicaris. a
naturalized American citizen, and
krpt him prisoner. President Roose
velt sent a fleet of eight American
war vessels stripped for action into
Tangier harbor while John Hay sent
his famous mesMco to the feeble sul
tan in nominal command there.
Kaisuli. who now says he is "too
fat to fight." had long been a leader
of the wild tribesmen who have fre
quently swamped the trained bat
talions of a civilized power. -Perdlearle"
Capture lte-eaate.
Perdiciris. a wealthy man. was
president of the European commis
sion administering affairs in Tangier
City in 1904. He has told the story
f his capture and It "was recounted
orrse time ago in a National Geo
graphic Society bulletin. He was
snatched out of his suninr home by
2altuli'j raiders, and borne off to a
mountain stronKhold.
From there the chieftain proceeded
to open up negotiations with the sul
tan of Morocco, I'erdloari' family,
and eventually in indirect fashion
with the American government, con
cerning the price to be paid for his
captive. The L" rated Stairs cut short
the chaffering In the fashion de
scribed. The sultan, panic-stricken,
sent T0. 00'.' in silver to Kaisull. ap
pointed him governor of a district,
turned loose some of his friends from
Tangier jails and Incarcerated some
vf Kaisull s enemies in their place.
Perdicaris later returned to the Unit
ed States to express his thanks.
Prosperity, however, came close to
ruining hla erstwhile captor, RaisulL
He got into a quarrel with the sul
tan about hla governorship, was
thrown out. and promptly retaliated
by bearing off for ransom Katd Sir
Henry Mclean, British commander of
the Moroccoan army. He arrayed his
tribesmen for battle, and descended
upon the coast, doing much damage to
Kuropeisn interests, and ln1907. suc
ceeded In setting all the hair-triggers
in Kuropean diplomacy.
Kaiser Wllbelm A reamed.
The French navy bombarded one of
his captive towns. Casablanca, the
now practically extinct Kaiser Wil-
helm came to bat sniffing undue
French expansion In prospect, but the
matter straightened out in a
council Vhamber instead of on a bat
tlefield. Kaisull was chased back to
his mountain fastness, but news dis
patches every few years record an
other of his eruptions.
"In many respects the man Inter
ested and attracted me In spite of all
my natural motives for dislike," Per
dicaris says of Kaisull in the geo
graphic society's report. "Ralsuli was
gracious and dignified, not to us only,
but to his own wild adherents, who
evidently Idolized their chieftain,
whose position among them seemed
that of a head of a highland clan in
olden times. He was quick to see the
humorous aspect of a situation, while
his repartee was as immediate and to
the point as though he had been born
in the County Galway.
"I found myself unconsciously ac
cepting his contention that he was not
a mere brigand or cattle-lifter, but a
patriot struggling to lift his Berber
followers from the tyranny of cor
rupt offiicala. His charm of voice,
the natural poise and dignity of his
manner, his self-control under provo
cation, all feetrayed a superior char
acter." Perdlcsris remarks that "Ralsuli
could not Jcar to hear a child cry."

was cracked over the head In the raid
on the American's summer home, and
both men were forced to ride many
ujiitra m u&ni oonas.
it was in connection with the
framing of the ultimatum 'Perdicaris
alive or Kaisull dead' that a trusted
correspondent of the Associated Press
in w asmngton Is concerned." The
geographic society bulletin remark
"Being entrusted with nreoarine
message for President Roosevelt to
sign, Mr. Hay did so, and submitted it
to his friend, the newspaperman, for
nia opinion, -well, it may be diplo
matic but the sultan will never get
you In the midst of all those words,"
was In effect the newspaperman's ver
dict. 'Why not say what you mean,
and no more, Mr. Secretary? Perdi
caris alive or Ralsuli dead.'
"The secretary agreed. President
Roosevelt approved. And the sultan
so far 'got' this succint American de
mand that he abandoned all usual
oriental indirection."
